PLAN is currently accepting applications for 2024 Summer Law Clerkships.

Summer 2024 PLAN Law Clerks will: 

1. Participate as fully integrated members of legal teams to investigate conditions of confinement complaints, complete legal research and writing as to incarcerated individuals' civil rights and dignity rights, and help advocate for corrective action.

2. Collaborate with a national team of PLAN partners to notify eligible incarcerated and formerly incarcerated voters ("system-impacted voters") of their voting rights under the law and assist them in overcoming barriers they encounter when exercising these rights.  This assistance will involve working under the supervision of PLAN attorneys - and in close coordination with attorneys from PLAN partners such as the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Campaign Legal Center, The Sentencing Project, and National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers - to: 

• complete legal research to determine system-impacted voters' voting eligibility;
• develop written analysis that advises system-impacted voters of recent changes in law that affect their voting rights; and 
• help eligible incarcerated and formerly incarcerated voters overcome barriers they encounter in the exercise these rights, including assistance with the rights restoration process if necessary.

To apply for a Summer 2024 Law Clerkship, complete and submit the online application form below.  All PLAN placements are fully remote. Recent law school graduates who have not yet been admitted to the bar are welcome to apply.  All Summer Law Clerks work 40 hours per week for 12 weeks.

PLAN also has a limited number of openings for individuals who would like to complete their 50-hour pro bono requirement or distinction with PLAN.  Pro bono contributors must complete their 50 hours between the dates of March 11, 2024 and May 24, 2024.
